Supermarket chain Marks and Spencer invent revolutionary way of eating fish
and chips... in a pie.

How do you take your fish and chips? With a sprinkling of salt and vinegar, maybe some ketchup, or a slice of lemon, are the answers must of us would respond with.

It’s unlikely, however, that you have ever eaten it in a pie.

But that is exactly how Marks and Spencer will be selling Britain's favourite cuisine later this month.

The supermarket's Gastropub dish – priced at £3.49 - is an all-butter short-crust pastry pie filled with cod chunks, minted pea puree, and béchamel tartar sauce, with chips layered in sea salt acting as a lid on the top of the dish.

M&S food developer Matt Dawson said: “Creating this pie has been the culmination of lots of love and hard work from our development team.

“Specially handcrafted in Yorkshire, each pie is lovingly created with top quality fillings made in small batches for a truly delicious taste of the seaside."

The inventor of the dish, Matt Dawson, said that the inspiration from the dish came about because he "wanted to create a classic traditional British dish and turn it into a pie," adding, "what’s more British than fish & chips? I thought of the idea of eating it on the beach with one of our Cornish IPA ales".
